that would fall under the same category as every single medal the US wins - could not care less personally.

I absolutely love posts as meaningful and well thought out as that one.

Actually I'm suprised that there's hardly any hype for these olympics. I only found out about them like a few days ago. Usually you can't miss olympics since it's all over TV.

That must just be a Canadian thing. We've got like three different channels that are summer Olympics just about all day long. Micheal Phelps picking up something like 8 different medals was a huge deal here. Paul Hamm winning the Gymnastics all-around (though controversial) and Carly Patterson winning the female all-around were also very widely publicized and closely watched.

Yeah must be. Since winter olympics are bigger here. Especially hockey. Gota admit, it was a close game.

Hey, strap 'em up Red. Do you even know how to skate or have you spent your life behind that screen? I gaurantee you won't be talking so big by the time they drag you off the ice! What's that medal count at? USA - 66, Canada - 6? What was the medal count in the 2002 Winter Olympics? Oh yeah, USA - 34, Canada - 17. Yeah, you guys sure hauled azz in that one!

Only that game matters, the rest is nothing...

Yes, the game of Hockey. I'd have to agree. Do you play? Or do you just talk?

It's just that it's pretty sickening to listen to a self-proclaimed computer geek get all cocky about a game that I've played since I was two years old. (high-school and college) Have you ever laced up a pair of skates Red? How Canadian are you?

Especially when this thread was supposed to be about the current Summer Olympics, not the Winter Olympics from two years ago. First gold in fifty years though, must feel pretty good. I can understand why you feel the need to boast at every opportunity.

Canada: biggest case of penis envy ever....

I used to play hockey, but it was just not my thing. But it does not stop me from promoting other players in my country.

I remember the year we made a rink in the back yard and I used to play with my dad allot.


Oh and we finally won another medal in cycling.

And what most people forget is that our govermentdoes not pay atheletes for training and stuff so the ones that do go to olympics are the ones that are really dedicated and spent their own money and resources to train for it. So a thumbs up to them.

thank you I try my best....runs off to find a thread talking about the TV show Friends or 'Survivor 27: the lifer section of Federal-Pound-me-in-the-as* prison' just to post "This show is stupid, why do you f*&^ing retards even watch this crap?"

on a serious note, the ONLY thing in my life from any olympics that has even remotely interested me has been the basketball games. The sorryass US men's team this trip does not deserve to win gold.

Cool that's nice to have. And I noticed Canada is not on the bottom, what's going on?

7 medals isn't exactly anything to call home about

Didn't we have one person for the US that got about as many as your whole country? I don't get into the Olympics and change the channel whenever anything is said about it so I don't know.

Wow! Canada is more of a backwards country than I thought then!

Yeah, too bad our goverment is too cheap to support athletes. (training and such).

But oh well, it's just for fun and games. We may not have good athletes, we may not have any military period, but we do have freedom. And snow, lots of it. Oh and beer that does not taste like tap water.

Archived topic from Anythingforums, old topic ID:863, old post ID:9332

I wonder what the market value for snow is?

I might import some!
